Just got back from a 2000 mile trip........
 
and averaged 25.4 mpg.Very well-built and comfortable road car.I did a search for this and didn't find any posts about this so here goes.When I unlock the doors,I hit the button a third time,and it lowers the windows until you let off the buttonI hit it once,twice,and hold it down.........mine is an SE and thought it may allow you let the inside cool down on a hot day.Also saw 3 Challengers on I-75 going south on a private hauler..........JB.

Interesting find... hadn"t heard about that. Will have to try it out. Welcome back from your trip!

That's a standard feature on SRT's for sure. See your owners manual.

Looks like I may have to actually look through that book in the glove compartment.....

The windows roll down a half inch or so when you open the doors and roll back up automatically after you slam them shut. It's because of the tight fit of the doors and lets air escape. (I found out about it before I got my car by something that was in a thread several months ago.) It happens even if the doors aren't locked. I never noticed it having anything to do with holding down the button a third time. I'll have to try that.

They will roll all the way down if you hold the button down.....JB.

Intrigued, I just went outside and tried that. The driver's side window indeed DOES roll down as Valkyrie said. But you have to click it once to unlock the driver's door, twice more to unlock the passenger door then hold it down on the FOURTH click. Pretty cool.

Update: BOTH windows roll down on the fourth click.

Cool... Roswell finally figured out how to get into his car!! :D

Now he can actually take it for a drive... that is if he can figure out the whole starting and putting into drive thing... :eek:

Its shaping up to be a pretty cool day... huh RG?? ;)

On the SRT8 you can setup the EVIC so both doors open with one click. Press the unlock button twice, then a third time and hold and both windows go down until you release the button.

Mopar, in the Amazing Future World of 2009, it takes a week or so trying to figure out how to turn off the levitation device with the key fob just so the car settles to the ground long enough to get in it. :D

RE: Just got back from a 2000 mile trip........
 
This is becoming so involved, I may have to go back to using my key until I figure it all out!!

So how was your trip? What was your top speed? How long did it take to get there?

:D:D Yeah. I did it once this afternoon. I'll probably never do it again.

That's normal. The more often you do it, the easier it gets. Mine was difficult at first now it's a snap. I think the computer has to learn the command.

Excellent time. I've done the 1,000-mile run from San Antonio to Des Moines, Iowa, numerous times. It generally takes 17 hours. I-35 is too well patrolled, particularly in Texas. ;)

Nothing wrong with black breasts.

SE with an SRT rear spoiler? I was under the impression many didn't like the SRT spoiler. I personally like the old go wing.

OK, this is a good point to ask something I've been wondering. Can you guys with spoilers see them out of the rear-view mirror at all? If you can, I might consider adding one to my SE. It would make parallel parking a lot easier to be actually able to see the rear end. ;)

It's what one of my co-workers now calls my Challenger....may have something to do with the burn-out I did leaving the parking lot (just wanted to get home...really......)

You can't see the spoiler at all......come to think of it.....you can't see a whole lot....makes backing a real "Challenge".....

Still looking for an SE emblem that I like to replace the SRT-8.I did take red trim tape and make it an SRT-6 :) .......JB.

Try checking out the emblems from a 69-70 Charger SE or 70 Challenger or even one of the other older SE models from the 60s and 70s....you may just find something that works.................
